Ariana Grande hasn't been sitting around during the pandemic. In fact, the busy-as-ever singer dropped her new album on October 30th and then opened the doors to a new non-profit animal rescue shelter called Orange Twins Rescue in Los Angeles.

The star shared a preview of the shelter's logo on her Instagram story, saying, “We are so happy, proud, and excited,” and teased the release of Orange Twins Rescue's new website, which will be coming soon.
